How does having a box in the back rob the people of faith?
Because someone isn't standing at the front saying, "Will the ushers please come forward now to take up the offering." ???
I don't know. I may be dense. But I don't think I'm that dense! If our faith is only built up by someone preaching on the importance of giving tithes and offerings, what kind of faith is that? Sounds like the kind of faith that says, "If I give to God, then He is required to give back to me." Hmmmm.
There is a local Apostolic church near here that does their offerings this way. Every now and then, on a Wednesday night Bible study night, the pastor will teach on Biblical giving (tithes and offerings). Other than that, the box is there. Seems to work for them
